Highlights
Pet care experience
Wildlife Grad, Pet Lover
I've been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. What started with helping neighbors and family friends quickly grew through word-of-mouth recommendations from people who trusted me with their beloved pets. In addition to caring for others' animals, I grew up with a dog, cat, and guinea pig, giving me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joys of pet ownership. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them inspired me to pursue a degree in Wildlife Science. After recently graduating and moving back home, I'm excited to reconnect with my community and find opportunities to care for animals again. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaled, feathered, etc. family members!

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I will be sure to follow your specific care instructions very closely, as well as respect everything in the home as if it were my own. I love to send updates throughout my visits with pictures and videos so you don’t feel like you have to keep inquiring about how everything is going. Whether we're on a walk or spending time at home, I'll provide compassionate care and make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Jennifer was absolutely amazing! We had her stay with our dog Teddy at our wedding venue on our wedding day, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was so flexible, understanding, and accommodating with our chaotic wedding schedule. She took such great care of Teddy, took him on walks, and even helped us get some special pictures with him on our big day. She was incredibly sweet, reliable, respectful, and caring. We felt completely comfortable knowing Teddy was in her hands, and we’re so grateful she was part of our special day. We highly recommend Jennifer!
Jen was amazing on the initial meet and greet. And extremely loving and attentive to my doggies needs. She is caring and did exactly what he needed during their time together. She is absolutely his new babysitter!!!
I'm pleased to provide a reference for Jennifer Bautista. I have watched Jen mature from a young child into a wonderfully responsible and caring young woman. There have been numerous occasions on which I hired Jennifer to watch my dogs, Callie and Cody. I consider my dogs family members, so this is not a responsibility that I would ever consider lightly. Jen unequivocally cared for Callie and Cody as if they were her own dogs. I enjoyed receiving updates on the dogs' activities along with pictures of their happy faces. It always gives me peace of mind knowing that Callie and Cody are being lovingly cared for when I am not able to be with them.
Jen took excellent care of our rabbit Lucy while we were on vacation. She is extremely responsible, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and most importantly, Lucy loved her! My family and I felt so at ease knowing that Lucy was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a pet caregiver.
I am a grad student that has to attend field research campaigns far away from home and will spend 14-16 hours in the middle of nowhere. I was worried about my cat, Eightball, being without me and with someone else. However, Jen was amazing with Eightball! She made sure he ate, kept his bowls and space clean, took care of his litter no problem (he can make it STINK in there), and played with him more than enough. I had to miss Eightball's first birthday unfortunately but she made sure he got his birthday toys, treats, and meals! Along with putting him in his birthday shirt! I got a LOT of pictures and would want Jen to watch him all over again!
